Outdoor Himalayan ritual scene beside a rushing river with steep forested mountains behind. Under a blue-and-white canopy hung with orange and red cloth, a seated figure in white robes with a leopard-print shawl and a white turban holds a pink cloth, facing a silver ritual vessel and bowls of offerings. Nearby, a person in orange robes stands at left. Several people in orange, green and pink clothing sit and stand along the riverbank, with a wooden footbridge and small buildings visible on the far side.

A photograph of a group of people seated on a stone embankment beside a rocky riverbed in a Himalayan valley, with steep forested slopes and snow-capped peaks behind them. Several people wear orange shawls and saffron-coloured clothing; one man on the right in an orange wrap stands with his hands together near the stone wall, and a younger figure in a green-trimmed orange wrap sits in the centre. Others wear white or red tops. Small buildings and a dusty path sit along the far bank. The scene suggests a pilgrimage halt on the Himalaya Yatra.

A photograph of a large group of devotees seated on a pebbled riverbank in a mountain valley. Most wear saffron-orange shawls and clothing, some in green or white. Behind them flows a river beside a steep, forested mountainside, a small suspension bridge, and multi-storey hillside buildings with red-roofed structures in the background. Some people sit cross-legged while others lean on bags. The scene suggests a Himalayan pilgrimage halt, with no visible central figure distinguishable from the group.

A photograph of a Himalayan riverside town at the foot of steep, forested mountains. Multi-storey buildings in pink, green, orange and blue stand on a stone-paved embankment beside a wide riverbed of grey pebbles. A small white-and-saffron shrine tower with a red flag rises at the left edge. Steps lead down toward the stones, and one figure in orange clothing stands at the lower left near the water's edge, partly visible.

A photograph of a riverside gathering at a Himalayan mountain town. In the foreground a broad rocky riverbed of grey stones spreads across the bottom of the frame. A crowd of roughly thirty people in green, orange and red clothing sits and stands on the stones and on a raised concrete platform. A few figures in saffron-orange robes are visible among them. Behind them stand multi-storey buildings with blue walls, white balconies and flat roofs against a forested mountain slope with tall trees. A white canopy tent is set up near the platform, and smoke rises from a fire on the left side of the scene.

A photograph of a rocky riverbank beside a town of multi-storey buildings on a hillside. In the foreground, a group of about fifteen people in saffron and orange clothing sit on boulders and gravel near the water, some wearing orange shawls, a green and orange wrap and white head coverings. A woman in a red and white outfit stands further back at the right. On the far bank, a red-and-white stepped ghat leads up to a temple with a white dome and spire near the top of the town. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible among the seated group, so the figures are described by role and clothing only.

A photograph at a riverside Himalayan village under a blue tarp canopy. A woman seated on the ground in the centre wears a white head covering and a leopard-print patterned garment with gold trim, and sits before brass pots and a brass lamp stand. Behind her, a person in orange robes holds a long ornate pole of a decorated golden-orange palanquin or canopy with red and gold fringed embellishments. Mountains, wooden houses and orange-clad people stand in the background, with a few more people to the left and right.
